wifi issues with iphone 6

All,

Just to give you my chain of events. I'm now on my fourth iPhone 6 Plus - All brand new retail replacements (Not via genius bar). All four of them have been running iOS 8 and then 8.0.2 and unfortunately they have ALL exhibited the same wifi issues :

1. Cannot connect or find any wireless networks - Reboot required
2. Wi-Fi connected with full coverage but no internet or activity - Wi-fi toggle on/off required.
3. When phone is left idle/sleep for long periods of time especially overnight wifi remains connected with full coverage but needs a on/off toggle to restart connection.
4. No speed issues - Always maximum when connected so not facing that issue. 5. They have mainly been on my 5ghz network but similar issues do occur when tried on 2.4ghz.

Now the thing that leads me to believe is that this all down to software and only certain routers/ network setups is that I have got a work 5S that had no issues on i0S 8.0 on my my network but yesterday when I got my latest plus I updated both 5S 6+ to 8.0.2 and configured them exactly the same on my 5Ghz network. This morning they both exhibited the same wifi issues and when coming back after a 6 hours the 5S that had worked perfectly before couldn't detect wifi on my 5G network.

This shows that its a iOS 8 issue that only caused issues with some devices that are connected to a certain routers.

My brothers got the iP6 in his house that has no issues with his router.

So bottom line no need to get hardware replaced 4 times like me, we just have to wait for apple to address the issue in the next update and live with the unstable networks for a bit long which I appreciate shouldn't be the case for devices that we all pay so much for!

Other than that I love my ip6+ - By far the best phone I have ever owned!

Just to report. After 24 hours of working I had only one restart and one freeze (bug type 188)!

I only use phone calls, sms and camera as nothing else is working properly.

For wifI I use my old 5 or 6 years android phone, which works still fine.

I was one of the original folks who posted here about my iPhone 6 Plus' issue as well as my wife's iPhone 6. Both of our phones wifi functioned properly at our work's offices and elsewhere, but not at home. But at home, my iPad and old iPhone 5 (both on iOS 8) worked perfectly fine on wifi. Resetting my iPhone 6 didn't help, nor did any of the tricks I've seen throughout this post (switching off data, location services, etc.)

So I simply tried doing a complete reset of my Netgear router, and that completely worked. Both my phone and my wife's phone now work on our home wifi without issue (no dropping wifi either), and we've been successfully using it for about 4 days now. I mean, it's totally odd because for the most part, everything is set up on my router exactly the same as it was before. The only changes I made were that I changed our broadcasting SSID and am now broadcasting the name - previously the name was hidden. But everything else remains the same.

That's what I did. reset My Bt Router and my airport extremes

Hey presto

apple have just released iOS 8.1 Beta 2 and I have read on another post that the wifi issue has been resolved?

https://discussions.apple.com/thread...t=330&tstart=0

Just need to wait for the final version to finally solve this big problem we have all been facing!

Today after my phone restarted several times, I've found an easy solution: turn off the phone. And it completely worked: so, there is NO more restarts, NO freezes, NO problems with wifi.

My friend said that I've bought not a phone, but a "brick". But I don't agree with him, because cost of the brick is 1 US dollar, and for this iPhone 6 masterpiece I've paid about 1'000 US dollars.

p.s. I hope very much that this iOS 8.1 will help. However, waiting almost a month to make my new phone work is awful.

p.p.s. I just wonder why they didn't test it before selling to customers:(

Hey, are you still have the WiFi issues on your brand new iPhone 6?

It's not hardware related for sure (changed 3 iPhones)

I have not had WIFI issues since I disabled location services for weather app that was enabled as the extension in the Control Center.

I Got a replacement iPhone 6 and after restoring from backup and still having the wifi disconnect issue, I did a complete reset and set up as new, which seemed to work but the issue a reappearEd. I hope Apple acknowledges and fix the problem SOON

Iphone 6 Plus user, having the same problem. I just got my phone 2 days ago and i went to 8.0.2 the first day. Since then I have constantly noticed the wifi goes away and my phone switches to LTE, then when i go to wireless it does not see any nearby wifi (there are several). So if you shutdown and back up it works fine. Ive had no other issues with my router, its a single band. Its happened 3-4 times already today and driving me crazy.

I switched from HTC One M8 and ive never had any issues like this, please apple you pride yourselves on user experience and I finally came back to you and i am having a much worse experience than I ever did on Android. I am loving the phone with exception of this issue but it needs to be addressed.

Actually this worked for me as well, so far. Thanks, but Apple still needs to get this fixed. Again im coming from Android and did not expect any of these type of issues. I still love the phone but Apple is not as clean an os as I had hoped it would be, i expected these things from android, but really never had many.

i was able to resolve my WiFi issue by disabling Location Services->System Services->Wi-Fi Networking. Disabling all of location services did not help (oddly).

I hope it works for you. So for anything that's been done has been a temporary fix. Apple will be releasing an update soon which should address the Wi-Fi issues but the people should still contact Apple about the problem.

And I´am also having this problem . Wifi drops while my phone is asleep and does not re-connect when I wake it up. The phone is also unable to find any networks. I have tried turning wifi off and then back on, turning Airplane mode on and then off, and have reset network settings. The only thing that would would seem to work was restarting the phone.

😟

I am also having this issue, both at home and at work and I've never had issues with either Wifi network before. The most frequent circumstance when it loses connection is when it was asleep. Sometimes it will connect to Wifi after a few minutes but if not it requires a restart to connect to Wifi.
